Inexpensive birthday party gift ideas for 7 year old boy?

Q. Although we (I have twin boys) appreciate being invited to a classmate's birthday party, seems we get invited to many. It gets expensive and hard to even come up with an affordable gift idea. Not to be ungrateful to be included, but it also seems the kids who have the large, elaborate, invite everyone, parties are also kids who already have anything and everything they want, so any gift they might want or would be impressed by would be more than we could spend (bakugan, redakai, etc.) Ideas?

A. The past few birthday parties we have gone to I have gotten the presents from the dollar store. The kids don't know the difference and alot of times they like the cheaper gifts. Crayons, coloring books, bouncy balls, the things you put in water and they get bigger.


Need some awesome birthday gift ideas for my son who is turning 4?
Q. Like I said in my previous question I'm considering the Vtech V.Smile V-Motion TV Learning System. But I know there are also other gaming systems out there for his age group too. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm not trying to get him to be one of those kids that play games all the time, but so far he hasn't played any and I think he'd really like something like that. Also open to any other gift ideas for him.

A. I can tell you *don't* buy the Fisher Price Smart Cycle. My 4 year old was so bored with that really quick (however I guess it did teach him to pedal). Like I mentioned in my other question, the Computer Cool School has been fun and educational, but honestly I'm not seeing those near as often as I used to. Not sure if they are still making them or if games are hard to find or not.

My 4 year old's very favorite toy is his ride on Lightning McQueen. He loves that thing and rides it everytime we play out side, that's been the biggest hit for a gift ever. Not sure if that's something in the price range you were looking for or not though - and it's not very educational, lol, but it's FUN!

Or what about a bike? Does he have one with training wheels yet?

I dunno, as far as other gift ideas. . .if your 4 year old is anything like mine a cardboard box makes him happy. He's never met a toy he doesn't like. :-)


What should I write on the METS Citifield brick I am buying as a birthday gift for my husband?
Q. I am going to purchase the 8x8 brick with the METS logo for his 30th birthday gift. I need some ideas as to what to write on it. I believe I have up to 5 lines with 15 letters per line.

As background, he has been a NJ resident and METS fan his entire life...

I appreciate your help on this as I am at a loss!

Thank you!

A. I would put your names on it and your kids names at least. Leaving your names off would be a big mistake. After you put your names put Go Mets or Mets Forever or something corny like that!
